Gogebic Taconite president Bill Williams will stand trial in Spain

It was reported late last year that Gogebic Taconite president Bill Williams had lost his last appeal to have charges of environmental destruction dismissed, though it was unclear then that Spanish officials would follow through with an indictment. It’s clear now.

Former Iron County district attorney Tony Stella has the details.

While I realize that the John Doe emails are the focus of everyone’s attention right now, Bill Williams plight should also be front and center of every major media outlet in Wisconsin. The saga of Act 1, the ferrous mining law written specifically for GTac, is a case study in both crony capitalism and piss poor legislating.

Way to go, Tom Tiffany.
